Insurance Capitation
Explanation:
With a capitation plan an insurance company, an employer and a dental practice agree that for a specific fee, the dental practice will provide professional dental care for all employees of a particular company. A yearly flat fee is paid to the dental office regardless of the number of patients seen or services rendered.
Office must have Assignment setup for System, Plan and Patient. In the Insurance Plan Update, select Coverage Setup for the Capitation plan. Add C to Plan Type.
When the office enters assigned billing, they will see the service and the fee in the Treatment tab. In Financial they will see the service description and the fee, directly under the service they will see 'CapWriteOff' with a negative entry for the same charge. This will give a $00.00 entry for this service in the patient Financial.
